9 Injured on West Pico Boulevard Near The Fish Spot

MID-WILSHIRE, LOS ANGELES (July 30, 2017) – At least nine people were injured, one critically, after a van careened into a crowd Sunday along West Pico Boulevard, according to KTLA.

The accident took place around 3:47 p.m., near The Fish Spot, a sit-down restaurant in the area.

As per the article, witnesses said the driver of a large white van allegedly veered in an attempt to avoid another vehicle, jumped the curb and drove through a fence. The van then struck several pedestrians in front of the restaurant.

The motorist was believed to have run a red light prior to swerving.

Fire department officials affirmed that a total of nine patients were later confirmed to have bee hurt in the collision. One of the victims, a 44-year-old man was rushed to a local hospital and was listed in critical condition.

An 18-year-old woman, a 28-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man were all hospitalized in serious condition while the other four patients were taken in fair condition.

Los Angeles Daily News wrote that those in fair condition were described as two 51-year-old men, a 29-year old woman, and a 39-year-old man.

It also stated that the van was involved in a separate traffic incident at Pico and Redondo boulevards. The force of that crash caused the van to hit the sidewalk and injured the pedestrians. The other motorist involved was also hurt following the initial wreck.

We offer our sincerest thoughts and prayers to all the victims who have been injured in this accident.

Failing to stop for a red light does not only guarantee a ticket but also endangers the safety of other people on the road. The driver of the van is being accused of running a red light, which is evidently considered as a traffic violation. In this case, a certain traffic regulation was allegedly disregarded and many innocent people were harmed. Once the investigation process is over, and evidence prove that the motorist violated traffic control signals, the victims will have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party.

The losses from your claim include the amount of the medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, etc. The most important factor is your life change resulting from the injury.

The first thing you should do is contact an attorney. Without the representation of a lawyer, insurance companies might make contact with you directly, and since they are trained to protect their best interests, this could mean a loss of rights on your behalf, especially if you unknowingly sign something that they didn't completely explain to you.

The length of a personal injury case depends on many factors including the evaluation and treatment of the injury. The bigger the injury, the longer it takes to treat.

Handling a personal injury claim by yourself is very difficult. You will deal directly with the insurance adjuster who is often trained to obtain the information they are not entitled to use.
